I dunno, I’m pretty down for Dance of the Dragons: The Series.

but I am fairly certain that quote does not end with “lol”

I specifically called out the Jungle Cruise as needing the updates it’s getting despite being an original ride, since that headhunter bullshit crossed the line into active, malicious racism in a way that the Tiki Room’s cheerful “everyone’s a stereotype and Hawaiian stuff is very popular right now even though nobody’s…

Enchanted Tiki Room gets a “This was made in the 60s and there have to be some of the originals left untouched, goddammit” pass. It helps that it’s cheerfully ignorant, not malicious in the way, say, Jungle Cruise is.

Do... do you not know about Ike Perlmutter

the short version is that one of the most odious maga chuds in the world had operational control over Marvel for a long time, and we didn’t get Black Panther or Captain Marvel until Feige wrested control away from him because Perlmutter was an avowed racist and misogynist who…

John Cena wished for a flying car, I think we’ve cracked the plot twist

So this time they bring back Gal Gadot, right? It’s not like they can’t afford her.

That’s understandable! I would like *them* to say it, though, and make some guarantees regarding those 100+ episodes.

This movie’s gonna suck, isn’t it.

I love MST3k, but is anyone else leery of a bespoke streaming service? One for which they’re very oddly *not* promising all the previous episodes on demand, suggesting rights issues? And, judging from the subscriptions you get based on pledge tier, with a monthly price higher than Disney+ and already in the…

I agree, that is somewhat sketchy. Also everyone was cool with side directions from a guy who is very much not the director about “hey I’m gonna scream in your face, just totally ignore me for no reason, it’ll be a cute prank”?

I... actually don’t? It’d be like half the cast of a Fantastic Four movie getting mad that they’re expected to say “Flame on!” and “It’s clobbering time!” but Reed and Sue have no equivalents.

Oh God, they put *so much* effort into that Dexter twist and then literally everyone guessed it in episode one. I feel so bad for him now.

What is this crypto-fellating bullshit

pump as much pollution as several small countries into the air so people can pretend they own a gif on someone else’s planet

That’s a shame, because the premise alone sounds like something a better — and braver — movie could do something with. If the force empowering unambiguous do-gooding is actually a demon, how could you tell?

And, more unsettlingly: would it matter?

Reminds me of how by the final seasons of Castle, Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic were so fucking sick of each other that the plot had to jump through increasingly circituous hoops to keep their characters -- playing a married couple by that point -- never in the same scene together.

Maybe. I also wonder if they were born out of just how much of a royal pain in the ass saving was on the PS1 — deprived of cartridges and thus batteries, going through that extremely time intensive process of multiple button presses, and the memory cards having such extremely limited storage space.

I always kinda felt…

I don’t know -- the REmakes were still nerve-jangling horrors even without the typewriter ribbons, which Capcom accurately determined nobody would be willing to put up with today. Just the saves being limited to the typewriter rooms was enough.

Does the editor position at AV Club pay actual American money? Because if so I’d like to apply

It is. The editing on this website is atrocious.
